Cell phone service inside The Villages can be very spotty. I used to have AT&T and had reception problems. Now I have Boost (Sprint) and still have problems. In both cases the southeast corner of the park was quite bad. Inside my house in the northwest corner of the park I sometimes have to go outside to have a good connection.
I think the owners of the park must have been reluctant to permit the proliferation of cell towers that are needed for good coverage of the park. I recently noticed that it appears that cell phone antennas are being mounted on a couple of the park water towers. Perhaps things are about to get better.
Verizon offers their a customer a repeater/booster for inside the customer's home to assure good coverage inside the house. Others may also do this; I don't know.
You might want to check with Sprint and ask what kind of coverage they claim they provide for The Villages and see if they are planning any improvements in the future.
Let me know if you do; I would be interested in the answer.
